Hadith of Safiyyah bint Huyayy bin Akhtab, wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with her)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7120 — she related: I have never seen anyone
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعٌ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَكَانَ فِي حِجْرِ صَفِيَّةَ ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ ، قَالَتْ : مَا رَأَيْتُ قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ خُلُقًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ رَكِبَ بِي مِنْ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى عَجُزِ نَاقَتِهِ لَيْلًا ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْعَسُ فَيَضْرِبُ رَأْسِي مُؤْخِرَةَ الرَّحْلِ ، فَيَمَسُّنِي بِيَدِهِ ، وَيَقُولُ : يَا هَذِهِ ، مَهْلًا يَا بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ الصَّهْبَاءَ قَالَ : « أَمَا إِنِّي أَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكِ يَا صَفِيَّةُ مِمَّا صَنَعْتُ بِقَوْمِكِ ، إِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا » .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her) that she related: "I have never seen anyone of better character than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) set out from Khaybar at night with me seated on the rear part of his she-camel. Drowsiness began to overcome me, so that my head would knock against the back of the saddle. At that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would support me with his blessed hand and say: 'O lady! Steady, O daughter of Huyayy!' Until, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached al-Sahba', he said: 'Listen, O Safiyyah! I explain to you the true circumstances of what (the battle) I did to your people (so that no grievance remains in your heart), for they said such and such things about me (that is, they were foremost in bitter enmity and incitement).'"
